Credit to Mike James for his shots Evan Fournier!
The ace of Olympiakos executed 17 (hitting 14) in the match between Olympiakos and Paris for the 14th matchday of the Euroleague and this element wanted to be commented on by the leader of Monaco.
“The 17 shots are Overdose“, the American Monegasque guard initially posted and shortly after reposted, jokingly commenting “this tweet was pure jealousy». Then he added “I’m not hurt, I’m just jealous».
It is recalled that after Monaco’s match with Olympiakos o Vassilis Spanoulis had expressed his complaints about Mike James not making enough shots in the Euroleague.
Asked if he thinks these fouls were not committed on the French superstar, he replied:I didn’t watch enough of the game to tell. But when someone gives 14 assists, it goes to say that he distributes the ball a lot. When someone takes 10 shots, that’s a lot. But 17 is crazy! I hope I helped».
“Don’t be jealous because you don’t have (Fournier’s) career and talent. He’s better than you and you know it. It’s a pain and it will pass,” one fan commented with James replying: “I leave it to you to discuss career, talent and things that don’t matter».
“He destroyed you the day before yesterday (in the match against Olympiakos), that’s why you say these things,” was another fan message, with the American replying “mmm, no, but if you say so…”.
“How many Euroleagues do you have, Mike?“, someone asked mockingly, with James replying accordingly “… definitely less than 17».
Moments later, James explained that “… this tweet i made is out of pure jealousy“, while in the observation of a fan that “… you and Nan are limited to 4 shots“, he commented “… wish i could make 4 shots. I’ve been doing this for 5 games now».
“The problem I see is that Mikes James, the EuroLeague MVP and all-time leading scorer, has not taken a shot in the last two games. I didn’t see anyone asking me about it. He is the MVP, has the ball in his hands and zero shots. I have to re-watch the two matches», he reported among others the Monaco coach.
